    Poll: who uses nonstick pans or other similar items?

    I personally only use cast iron or stainless cookware for 25 years, minimum. No reason other than I just do.

      Too many people.

      I see non stick cookwear fly off the shelves due to people not knowing how to cook, the option being too expensive or too heavy.

      I have the exact same preference you have for pots and pans but when talking about cooking I always get away with the feeling I’m the crazy one for learning techniques to use a conventional pot or frying pan instead of using non stick.

      I do. I have fibro and cast iron and steel is too heavy for me. I also don’t worry about dying too young, because debilitating pain etc…

        It’s not just about dying too young. The chemicals leech into the environment. Something absurd like 99% of kids now have these forever chemicals from nonstick in their bodies.

        Sorry for your pain and condition. Good luck.
